Track Name: The Sun Will Radiate Its Light Through the Scenes of Horror
The Rhine was red with humane blood,
The Danube roll'd a purple tide,
On the Euphrates Satan stood
And over Asia stretch'd his pride.

He wither'd up sweet Zion's Hill
From every Nation of the Earth;
He wither'd up Jerusalem's Gates
And in a dark Land gave her birth.

He wither'd up the Human Form
By laws of sacrifice for sin,
Till it became a Mortal Worm,
But O! translucent all within.

Spectre of Albion! warlike Fiend!
In clouds of blood and ruin roll'd,
I here reclaim thee as my own,
My Selfhood! Satan! arm'd in gold.

(William Blake)
Track Name: War Sublimating the Lycanthropic Death-Wave
War sublimates the lycanthropic death-wave
Like dream sublimates unavowable desire
Allowing something to remain asleep
Undoing a war in a poem

The nightmare of something peeled back
Disintegration of flesh from a skull
Movement of violent disillusion
Sighing among the shadows of autumnal ashes
Inhibiting a mournful dream-image
The thorny wilderness girdles the city
From bloody steps the moon hunts

Multiplicity of wolves, a rupture
Blood, the moon, and women
Coagulated by an intense menstrual seism
Shattering the illusion of dissolution
And death
Track Name: I Am All the Vermin in History
(instrumental)
Track Name: Spirit & Teeth
Bones contort, mind unfolds
Brainless flesh nothing knows
Corpulent confinement
Degrading away in silence

Flesh unfolds, brain explodes
Senseless mind nothing knows
Spiritual penitentiary
Only existing in memory

Fragmented consciousness
Existential instability
Tear away all your flesh
Symbol of infirmity

Pools of blood gathering
Spirit and teeth testing me
Ouroboros swallowing
Combining everything

Spirit and teeth
Like vampires bleed
Mouths open, you and me
Pain and bliss, eternity

Spirit and teeth
Indulge me
Secrets of humanity
Struggle and peace, infinity

Darkness of space, cosmic seas
Swirling chaos, eternal beasts
Drift amist voids and blackness
Nourish your flesh in absence

The black stars forever shining
Eternity keeps on grinding
Sailing the endless sea
On a ship of spirit and teeth

Spirit and teeth and spirit and teeth…

[Gibberish]
